Name:
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada

I am the keeper of the woven words and paper words at a non-profit organisation here in Montreal- I also weave words in paper worlds and bring imagined worlds to life through theatre in my spare time. I also scratch around on a guitar, writing songs and then trying to learn them. I am discovering that I can do many more things than I once thought possible.

Hanging out at the CLSC

I`ve been waiting on someone.
I`m wondering if someone will come.
I thought I knew who it was.
You ask me why, well, just because:

because I thought it meant something,
but who knows what each day will bring
My heart sinks with the sun each evening,
for the day`s end sees me with nothing

I`ve been waiting patiently, well, sort of, because you see,
I`m not such a patient guy, don`t have words to explain why.
I`ve been waiting to know what price, to know whether this sacrifice
might in fact suffice, and what I`m thinking`s not so nice
I`ve been waiting for some answers, instead some new question occurs to me, leaving me confused
I`ve been waiting for some news

I`ve been waiting for somebody
who seemed somewhat friendly when handling my file
but it`s been a long, long while,
well,

I thought it meant something,
who knows what each day will bring
My heart sinks with the sun each evening,
for the day`s end sees me with nothing

I`ve been waiting, bloated, I fear I`ll burst.
So why am I dying of thirst?
Hoped for the best, now I fear the worst.
It seems my name`s somehow been cursed.

I`ve been waiting for some word
from someone in authority,
but it`s recently occurred to me,
that it could take an eternity,

wondering if it meant anything,
but who knows what each day will bring
My heart sinks with the sun each evening
for the day`s end sees me with nothing
